If I as a user don’t want to interact with or amplify an instance - such as lemmy.ml - for whatever reason
Is there a way to do so? I’ve been blocking individual communities on Lemmy.ml to avoid amplifying that instance. But more pop up. Is there any way for me as a user to block an entire instance?
There’s an enhancement being considered. Please react to and comment on this issue for more visibility to the developers.
Since the developers are the problem, it’s probably not likely they’ll implement. But I’ll keep on eye on this and maybe contribute if there is a soft fork.
I don’t think I’d view them as a problem here. They need to triage the issues and they’re going to focus their efforts on things they see as a bigger benefit. They haven’t indicated that they would deny code contributions to add this feature.
If you were running your own (even single-user) instance of lemmy, you could defederate with any instance and still participate in others as normal.
